JIC  I downloaded this update (WinXP-32) from MacUpdate and from Apple, both files were exactly the same, but I couldn't install any of them. After a short "Preparing Install" message, nothing happened for several hours. I did it again after a reboot, and it was the same.

I access my BootCamp partition by the standard way and also by VMWare Fusion. Please don't try to install this update in Windows Safe (or also Clean) Mode, as someone recommended me, you will loose your Windows Activation.

Any hint about how to install this update?  (Version 2.1)

BLUESTAR  First of all: all of these people seeing nothing happening for a while when launching the update: Be patient - it will install, it needs to unpack the installation bits which take some time. Just hold on and do not cancel the process. I worked for me...

I have a Mac Pro Quad Core 2.7 Ghz Mac. I had Windows XP (SP2) running with the original Bootcamp 2.0 drivers that came with the Mac on the install disks just fine. I installed Bootcamp 2.1 from a stand-alone download under XP (SP2). When I restarted I was greeted by a horrible 640x480 4-bit color screen telling me my drivers are out of date and were made for a previous version of Windows (?!?!) (the default VGA driver was loaded) I am unable to get my display set up properly all settings are greyed out. I have a dual monitor setup with an ATI x1900 PCIe card and a ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe card. Neither of them work now. I had to restore my system via System Restore to a state 2 weeks earlier to get my Windows XP back.  (Version 2.1)

TUBO  Requirement: Installed Bootcamp 2.0

Couldn't get installing anything - you HAVE to install Bootcamp 2.0 (from Leopard DVD inserted under Windows) first! I forgot it after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5...

Worked well.  (Version 2.1)

BLOOBIE  No problems updating last night. Ran Apple Software Update from within Windows (while booted in VMWare) and it downloaded/installed without a hitch. Now I'm ready for whatever will now be broken on Monday when SP3 is released. :)  (Version 2.1)
